Richi, if you have a SUP with you I'll post next time Wreck beach has some small surf. Past wreck beach, 200 meters East there is a parking lot, park there and take a look at Wreck beach before going down those stairs (it has a clear view of the beach). Halibut bank was 0.4-0.5m wave height, which it's not much. Because wreck beach does not get affected by outgoing/incoming tide, 0.5 will deliver good long rides for SUP surfing, small but fun. Yesterday was an excellent day for SUP, long runs, not much wind, good sunset, with a good wetsuit it would compare to a semi-flat hawaii. As always it lasts 2-3 hours. When the wind dies, wave energy is still there, there is 50 km of wind energy from the island, that's when you need to drop your sail and drive to Ambleside if strait winds are still strong + incoming tide; or wreck beach if whole area has no wind. SUP/longboard always fun in small surf.
This Thursday morning forecast (8am to 11am), wreck beach may have some small surf if halibut bank is more than 0.5m.
